THE OCEAN RACERS.

New YORK, March 21.-No further news
Of the yachts Coronet sand Dauntless was
brought to this port yesterday, although
The. masters of several of these reported
having seen any number of icebergs but no
yachts Westerly storms were reported, but
these instead of proving drawback to the
racers must have waited them rapidly on
their journey. There was nothing in yester-
days reports to indicate what weather the
yachts probably experienced after March 16
and II. The Zerivia from Liverpool the In
dependent from the Mediterranean, and the
Fulda from Hamburg are due today and it is
the news of the race. If the yachts have
maintained the same rate of speed since
they were passed by the British Prince as
they did before being sighted by that vessel
they may be looked for, off Queenstown on
Wednesday of this week.

RAGING WATERS.
The River at Bismarck, Dakota, still
Rising.
The City OF Mandan Shut off from
All communication.
Ice Cakes a Hundred Feet Square
Thrown into the Air.

BISMARCK, March 21.-The river is still
rising an inch an hour, having already passed
the high water mark of the memorable flood
of 1881. All lowlands are now inundated
The only houses flooded on the Bismarck
side are a few squatter's shacks. From the
Bluffs one can see huge cakes of ice up near
the streets of Mandan. The only method of
connection between the towns is via Chey-
enne and Ogden. The Boston syndicate
property, including Touring mill and some
80 residences, elevator, shops, and every
thing south of the track is submerged The
Upper Heart river has not yet broken. The
loose ice began running again this evening
Indications are that the Fort Buford rise is
beginning to be felt. All boats are still safe
as is the Northern Pacific warehouse, the
river being so wide that the ice no longer
crowds them. kilograms from the Western
division of the Pacific say that trains are
running through from Mandan to Portland,
no other bridges being out.
The barometer is highest in Northern Da-
kota and is lowest in Southern Georgia. A
weak and lily defined depression covers
South Carolina, Georgia, East Tennessee,
Kentucky and Indiana. The temperature
has risen in the upper Lake region, on the
South Atlantic coast, and slightly in the
Ohio Valley, Tennessee and on the Middle
hbldubtC. 1IloCWHClO IL leo ldllCli, Especially
in the West Gulf States and in the North
west Light rains have fallen in the Gulf
States, Ohio Valley, Tennessee, and in Mis-
souri, and the upper Mississippi Valleys.
Elsewhere the weather has been generally
| fair.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, March 21.-Judge
| Franchs of Dakota reached here today. He
| says the scenes of the flooded district defy
| description. Ice a cakes, hundred feet
| square, were thrown in the air several feet
| whenever they struck an obstacle. The
| force of the current snapped the cables hold
ing warehouses to the banks as though they
| were cotton threads. Warehouses over 6OC
| feet long were moved some distance and
landed high and dry. If the Missouri should
now freeze up and the Yellswstone break
| away and pour its ice against the ice in the
| Missouri, the result at Mandan would be
| terrible. st seems strange" said the Judge,
"to have Mandan in full view, yet less ac-
| cessible to communication than London. y
| Several tons of Western mail have been
brought back from Bismarck to be sent
around via the Union Pacific.

tendent Odell of the Northern Pacific rail.
road telegraphs from Bismarck that the
bridge there is safe, but that one or two
spans of the trestle work approach on the
Mandan side have been moved out of place

for two or three days or until the water sub

Mr.. Cleveland and the Presidency.

President Cleveland is at last convinced
that Governor Hill Is in the race for the
nomination in 1885, and that the friends of
the governor have nearly perfected plan Of
compaign.
Their movements have been closely watch
ed from time to time the Presidents friends
have come here to advise him of the drift OF
things WilliamlE. Smith, chairman OF the
Democratic Executive Committee in the
Cleveland campaign, friend of Smith NJ.
Weed, and likely to be one Of the prominent
factors in the anti-Hill movement has come
here somewhat suddenly in connection with
political matters in that direction. He adj
mits that the steps already taken lby friends
of Governor Hill to secure the New York
delegation will force the President into the
field as candidate, no matter whether he
desires the nomination or not, rs any other
course would sacrifice the men who stood by
him before and since his election. 1t is
limited that as soon as certain Immediate ap-
pointments and pressing matters of public
business are disposed Of, the President will
have time to confer with his friends take an
inventory of stock and agree upon some gen.
eral line Of policy for future political move
ments. A good deal of quiet comforting has
been going on for some time, but a general
conference upon the political situation, its
prospects and necessities, is suggested within
the next few weeks.
